Having read of couple of the stories and watched many movie and Tv show adaptations I want to thank you for inspiring some of the greatest shows and movies.

I know this many be difficult for you to hear, seeing how you killed off your own character because you became tired of him. And to make matters worse he was so popular that people wanted him back so you had to keep writing about Sherlock Holmes to satisfy fans and to make money.

While I know you were frustrated and probably irritated by the idea of only being known for Sherlock Holmes, let me reassure you it could be worse.

You could be known as being the writer of Twilight. You could be known as the writer of 50 shades of Grey. You could be known as someone who was responsible for the deaths of millions (like Hitler, Stalin, etc.)

Instead you are known as the writer of Sherlock Holmes.

I hope one day to inspire people to the point where they create numerous movie and tv adaptations, inspire many stories to be written (whether they are fanfiction or actually published), I hope to inspire like you have inspired.

I may tick people off when it comes to this, but I don’t really care. I am kind of irritated.

I know that when a new episode of my favorite TV Show, a new book to my favorite series, or a sequel to a movie I enjoyed has come out. I know there will be this crazy thing that will pop up on the internet called spoilers.

I also know that if I start getting into a series that has been around for a while there will be lots of fansites on the internet that could possibly spoil it for me. As a result I don’t go looking for it till I have caught up. I am okay with that.

And if a series is older than 10 years I shouldn’t have to post spoilers in the title. I shouldn’t have to post spoilers in the article at all.

When I am getting into a series and I know it is old; I don’t go looking online. If I do, I know I am doing it at my own risk. If I am just getting into a series that is brand new, if a new episode has come, out and I haven’t seen it yet; I will avoid those websites in the meantime until I have seen the episode. It is a lot easier to do than you think.

I have missed a lot concerning Once Upon A Time lately. Due to my facebook feed all I know is that the Wicked Witch is involved. That is it. I don’t know anything about it.

When I have missed new episodes from Doctor Who, Once Upon A Time, Sleep Hollow, Game of Thrones, etc. you know what I do? I do this amazing thing called don’t look and don’t search for it. I don’t go looking for things on tumblr, pinterest, etc. If something pops up while I’m on there I do this amazing thing where I ignore it. I don’t read it, I just click away from it.

Now when I am talking among friends in person I have more discretion because well even if they cover their ears there is not much they can do about it. Instead I talk privately about with the friends who are in the know or I ask if that person cares if I spoil it for them.

Most of them don’t, a few do. It’s cool.

What happens if what happened on the internet happened in the real world, where people actually interact face to face.

I am in a bookstore or cafe talking about a new episode with friends. It is just a conversation between the two of us. All of a sudden someone comes up to me and says ‘you just spoiled that episode for me!’ You should have said spoilers!’ ‘I wasn’t talking to you though and you didn’t have to listen in’, I say. ‘Still though you can’t go around talking about it and spoiling for everyone,’ says whiny fan(girl/boy).

See how ridiculous that is?

In all honestly though I don’t know what is so hard about not looking for information related to your fandom. My father does it all the time. I do it all the time, and so does my mother. We are all Geeks. If they sees any article related to TV Shows and yes even movies that they are interested in, they will do this crazy thing where they ignores it and they don’t read and or watch youtube videos online, or look up anything related, unless they don’t care. Which sometimes they don’t.

I do the exact same thing. I don’t fanboy/fangirl rage at someone for spoiling something, especially since, I went looking at the topic in relation to said fandom in the first place. I can understand it may be a little more “difficult” when you are subscribed and or following that person. Usually the titles though are a pretty good giveaway of what they are talking about. I follow so many geek related sites and I have yet to have the entire episode of Game of Thrones spoiled for me. It has only happened once. Once!

Big example. I have’t seen the current season of Game of Thrones. I accidentally saw something about the purple wedding and I only know that…..

SPOILER ALERT

.

You have been warned

.

Are you sure you want to go further

Fine I am not responsible….

SOMEONE DIES

Honestly that shouldn’t be a surprise to:

those who have read the books

those who have watched the season so far

those who know that George R.R. Martin loves killing people more so than Moffat.
(Imagine if they did an episode together…)

So at the end of the last episode of Sherlock Season 3 we got a little surprise.

“Miss Me?”

So although we haven’t been given anything from Moffat or Gatiss about Series 4, already theories are flying around.

Some things to remember before I go into my theories:

They get ideas from the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

And books not by him as well as long as they are related to Sherlock

As well as movie and tv show adaptations that are not related to the books

Here are some of my theories for Series 4:

It could be Moriarty, but I don’t believe it is. Yes, I know Sherlock survived the fall so it is possible that I believe it could be a brother of Moriarty. I don’t think it is Moran, because he was arrested at the end of the first episode (yes that guy is Lord Moran).

Could it be The Woman instead of Moriarty’s brother? Either way we will probably get an episode where she at least makes an appearance.

I still think Mary will die. People may not like it, but I think it is possibility. If she is to die I hate to propose this but my first thought is the she would die giving birth.

We will learn more about Mary next season. In fact her past might continue to catch up to her.

The classic London Red Bus will be involved. Moffat and Gatiss were on a bus when they mapped out Season 4 & 5. It would be cool to see them incorporate something like that.

Sherlock Cases I would like to see:

The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot

The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist

The Adventure of the Proiry School

The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez

The Adventure of Abbey Grange

What cases would you like to see in the next Sherlock season? What cases would you like to see used in the next season?

OMG! That is so disgusting. I feel violated just watching that. I feel physically sick at that. Reminds me of an ex.

Yaaahhh!

Written by moffat. Great get ready for the heartbreak.

Oh poor John he is having nightmares.

Who is that crying? Kate who?

He is the drug one? OMG John be sensitive.

OMG drug house. Is this going to be like The Man with the Twisted Lip and we are going to see Sherlock Holmes in the drug house?

John you are so badass.

Are you really threatening John. That is hilarious.

“Let me help.” OMG

That was soooo hot!

“I know how to sprain people.”

“Just used to a better class of criminal.” All the sass.

That is so terrible. Seeing this place.

Knew it!!!

Oh John is so pissed off.

“I’m not now!”

“Are we taking everybody home?” All the sass

OMG. She slapped him 3 times! OMG Go Molly!!! That is hot.

Sherlock is surprised/not surprised by John.

Sherlock is impressed and John is angry.

He wants the drug habit to hit the newspapers?

Anderson! He is helping Sherlock!

He got rid of the chair. Oh he is trying to get rid of every reminder of John.

So he has drugs in there.

Mycrofts face. Fear?

Scary Mycroft is scary. I don’t want to mess with him.

“Scuttle”

“We both find that embarrassing”

That’s awful. Still though aggressive Sherlock is hot.

What is in his bedroom?

OMG there is a girl! It’s the girl from the wedding! She is wearing his shirt!

Mike? For Mycroft?

Sherl? That’s an awful nickname.

She is going into the bathroom. She is in the bathroom.

Sherlock is so smug.

I wonder why Magnussen turns his stomach the most?

John has so many issues with Sherlock having a girlfriend.

That smile Sherlock it’s so cute. I want him to look at me like that. Don’t judge me!

That smile is killing me.

KISSING.

John’s reaction is hilarious.

I wish I could stay happy about this, but I already know what will happen to his “girlfriend”

Appledore- what is this My Little Pony?

Magnussen.

Well this is going to get awkward.

I hate him he is so disgusting.

Those glasses.

I still don’t understand the full story with the letters.

How could he know about Redbeard?

Magnussen is so rude, just ignoring Sherlock.

English with a spine. So domesticated.

What he is doing?

He is not! That is disgusting!

He just said England was not a real country.

He just showed the letters.

Hey that guy who was arrested on corruption, he criticized Magnussen!

I didn’t know that about the key card. Is that true?

I knew it was going to happen, but Sherlock you jerk!

You are a total Jerk!

That is so heartless.

That sounds horrible.

Really Sherlock, you faked proposed.

That was fast.

I love how he is like, ex con and white supremacist. Not worth it.

Mary wears Claire De Lune. OMG it can’t be her.

OMG it is.

Sherlock is shocked.

Is he wearing a bullet proof vest?

He isn’t OMG!

Molly? What the-?

Are they giving an explanation for the audience.

Molly slaps him again.

Oh Mind Palace.

Anderson now?

Mycroft too!

Hey Mycroft don’t be a jerk. He isn’t stupid.

Interesting Anderson is in his mind palace.

OMG Sherlock don’t die for real.

Oh great!

Thanks Mycroft.

What did Mycroft say there?

Redbeard is his dog. It’s his happy calm place. OMG I’m tearing up this is adorable. Poor Sherlock.

Who is that?

Not him. Moriarty.

Moriarty. He is so scary and demented.

Why is he there?

Moriarty stop being creepy.

I can’t handle this.

He wakes up at “John Watson is definitely in danger.”

“You are not getting better are you?”

The stairs, he is fighting for his life! All for John!

Johnlock all the way!

She looked really scared for a moment.

Are you really threatening Sherlock?

Yes, because he isn’t out of it.

Good for her. Not classy, but hey it works.

I love their friendship.

Oh burn.

He looks so sad and regretful.

He turns it down. Like he wants to cause himself pain? For hurting her? Or to help him think?

He escaped.

Spare bedroom? For Sherlock? Or For Tim?

John’s chair is back!

He put the perfume- Claire de Lune

I think John is figuring it out!

But he still gets money.

Oh that is cool. Is this real also?

Kidney joke. Please tell me they put that in because of Doctor Who.

Doctor’s wife must be a little bored.

That wasn’t Sherlock. It was a dummy.

It was deliberate she missed.

It’s John.

Oh poor John. I’m tearing up. I can’t handle this.

Lord Smallwood suicide!

What is he doing there?

Oh, only if you knew Mrs. Holmes.

Oh, only if you knew Mr. Holmes.

Well this is awkward.

I feel for John.

“Yes”

John is angry. Angry John. I feel for you.

“That’s me by the way hello.”

“Sherlock Holmes if you have been youtubing.” OMG there are videos.

She is like that because she decided to be like that, not because John picked her. I hate to disagree with you there Sherlock.

Sherlock looked a little bad in that moment.

Be nice he has every right to not talk to you. You lied to him!

What do those initial means? A.G.R.A.

Assassin and intelligence.

She is brilliant.

“We can trust Mary.”

She is so pregnant.

John you are a very big person. You are a bigger person than I am. I would have read the whole file.

That is beautiful. But I still want to know.

He attacks people who are different and prey on their secrets.

“Not a dragon for you to slay.”

I love how they are both adults and they are hiding it.

“Here be Dragon.”

All the Hobbit references. I love it!

What? Did Mycroft just say that?

Oh God what is wrong with Mary?

What was in the tea?

Oh great. He made a deal with Magnussen.

Magnussen makes my skin crawl.

Can’t wait to see Magnussen’s “Pressure Point”

They are just ordinary.

His Eye(s)! Technological eyes?

Hahahahaha

That is huge estate.

CAM initials on the helicopter.

CAM is so smug. I hate him. I hope he burns.

Even CAM knows Johnlock is real.

Just called John Sherlock’s Damsel in distress.

Interesting way and brilliant.

CAM you are a sick man.

I would love to see the vaults.

Why is he laughing?

CAM is really really smart.

Why is he laughing though?

This is going to be bad.

Here it is.

That’s it? Is it a forgetful room?

That jerk. Sherlock looks so upset.

Magnussen mind palace is huge.

Sherlock looks really upset.

I think this is the first time he has been one upped.

Poor Sherlock.

Jobs for the CIA (she worked for the American Government)

CAM is slime.

Sherlock looks so sick and disgusted by this.

CAM makes a point about the news part, you don’t need proof anymore.

Sherlock is in shock. He knows he underestimated CAM.

Someone will make a shirt.

He is so disgusting. I hate CAM. I can’t wait for him to die.

I feel sick. He makes me sick inside. I want to punch him. I hate him as much as I hate Umbridge.

Sherlock wants to murder CAM

This is so humiliating. This is so degrading.

Oh Sherlock.

He even went after Sherlock’s ex-girlfriend (I know fake relationship, but still).

OMG he just shot him!

He did it for John. Oh Moffat you suck.

I was hoping Mary would shot CAM.

Mycrofts face. Don’t tell me he doesn’t care for his brother. He just puts on an act. Just like Sherlock, except his is more convincing.

Right and what you said to Sherlock on Christmas. What do you call that?

“You know what happened to the other one.” What does that mean? Do they have another brother?

But he is your brother!

William Sherlock Scott Holmes. That is his full name. I love it.

East Wind.

Well that explains the whole East Wind thing from earlier.

Eastern Europe. East Wind. Coincidence.

He doesn’t tell John he probably won’t make it.

Is he going to confess something.

Really Sherlock.

ALL THE FEELS!!!!!

Sherlock is so sad. I can’t handle this. Moffat you suck.

What?

Lestrade?

“Did you miss me?”

Why is Mrs. Hudson freaking out?

Why is Molly in shock?

What is not possible?

He is needed for what?

WHAAATTT?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!?

Moriarty is Dead!

He can’t be alive!

My brain has been abused by moffat once again.

I can’t deal with you Moriarty.

___________________________________________________

So part of my theory was correct we know that she was blackmailed by CAM. Apparently people are looking for her and she is in a lot of trouble with them. Makes sense that she was involved with the government as an assassin and with intelligence of some sort, maybe USA because there was mention of CIA, but that could have been brief.

I wish Mary had killed CAM. At the same time though it part of me thinks that it would have been difficult because she is pregnant and the other part of me believes that she could do it because I’m sure she has had to deal with other kinds of pains while being an agent. Also in the original story it was a random woman. If not Mary Morstan than I was really hoping for Lady Smallwood, after all her husband committed suicide, so it would have been perfect revenge. Although it would have been great is Sherlock and John arrive only to find the whole house in an uproar. While Sherlock frantically looks around for Magnussen’s library only to find Lady Smallwood there over CAM’s body saying the library is gone. It was all in his head. It just would have been awesome.

My question is how did Magnussen find so much about Sherlock? The only way could have been from Sherlock’s brother Mycroft and the only person that we know that has had a conversation with Mycroft regarding Sherlock is Moriarty. Did Magnussen and Mycroft know each other in the same way? Did Magnussen and Moriarty know each other?

Final Thoughts:

We will continue to learn more about Molly.

I still think she will die, especially since there is a new villain.

I don’t think Moriarty is alive. I will have a theory posted soon.

This episode was really good. So much happened in this episode.

Overall I would have to rate this at 4 out of 5 stars. Even than I feel that is being nice, only because I was wanting more( specifically with Mary and CAM. I know its the end of the episode of a season, but still it should feel complete and yet keep the cliffhanger somehow.
